Found this online ad at Tampa4sale.com, and while I have not called it to see if it's for real, I thought I'd cross-post here, and see if anyone else might be interested.

Too bad the cost of shipping would outweigh the horse(and most often the value) to come to NY

Actually Crystal, you can ship horses from Fl to NY for about $600....I regularly have mares coming here from FL for breeding/foaling ect and was surprised how inexpensive it can be.

Just had a mare shipped from Atlanta GA to just north of Detroit MI for $500. I think FL to NY is a regular trip for a lot of shippers b/c of the tracks. I used SE Transportation.
